CME Shine Auto Detailing LLC

Hi, I’m Chad – founder and co-owner of CME Shine Auto Detailing.

My passion for automotive care started early. At 16, my dad taught me the value of maintaining a vehicle, and what began as a simple routine quickly became a personal obsession. Over the years, detailing became more than just a hobby—it became a craft.

While I’ve been professionally detailing for the past three years, my experience with discipline, leadership, and attention to detail runs much deeper. I spent 14 years in the fire service, proudly serving between two departments. During that time, I held the roles of Training Officer for four years and Captain for another four, helping shape and lead teams in high-stakes situations. That experience taught me how to stay sharp under pressure, hold myself to high standards, and always take pride in my work—principles I carry into every detail job I take on.

To further hone my skills, I have hands-on training from some of the best in the industry, including Mel Craig with Revivify America/ Detailing Pro’s, Dan Tyger of Adam’s Polishes, and Josh Pierce with IDA Board of Directors / P&S Detail Supply. Their mentorship has and continues to push my work to the next level and set a foundation for excellence at CME Shine.

I’m also incredibly grateful for the support of my family and friends. Their encouragement has fueled every step of this journey, and their belief in me is at the heart of this business.

Whether you’re interested in a premium ceramic coating or a high-end detail, I’d be honored to earn your trust. At CME Shine, it’s not just about making your vehicle look great—it’s about doing the job right, with the same pride and precision I’ve brought to every role I’ve ever held.
